PST is 8 hours behind us.

DLC is available to download up to 1 hour ahead of go live.. But have you seen the size requirements? I think PS4 is 44GB

With upwards of 500k people trying to d/l in the same one hour window, I'd wait till tomorrow to download it.

There will be salty forums later today for sure!

Download goes live 2 hours before hand. The download is actually only 6 or 8 gig. The 44GB is the total size of Destiny, and with the way Playstation handle downloads you need double the amount of the size required due to the download being encrypted and needing the extra space to decrypt and check that the install is correct without any errors. So while the line from Bungie is that PS needs 88GB space free, the actual download is only 6 or 8 GB IIRC

If you say land or drop when talking about the release of something, smack yourself for me please.

Finally legendary shards your time has come.

6gb update available now

Loot has increased anyway I see..

Any new trophies?

Nope.

two big, massive, unacceptable negatives from CoO.

1. You can't do the prestige leviathon raid if you don't have CoO - the raid you could do on Tuesday morning, you can't do on Tuesday night, because you don't buy the next DLC? This is taking 'on disc' dlc to a new level. Absolutely unacceptable imo.

2. The new CoO Quickplay and Competitive PVP Modes. You narrow your PvP modes down to two so that player population can be more easily managed and matched up - and come the first DLC you split your community not only into the haves and have nots, but force the 'haves' to make a selection? I just want to play PvP - I don't want to have to decide if that my choice is going to exclude x% of the population. And is it just because of the 2 (1 if you are on xbox) new map? If it is because of the map.... just let everyone have access to the map - keep player population as high as possible. If it is because of new weapons and armor.... I have to ask why? is the new stuff OP vs the old stuff? If there is a basic balance, then just let everyone play together. If a 'have not' gets killed by a gun they can't get, or are impresssed by an exotic they can't get.... firstly: so what? secondly - maybe it will encourage them to get CoO - which would be a good business move.

Just seems these decisions will completely turn off players who haven't got CoO, rather than encourage them to buy it, and will have, at best, a negative impact on the player population which is surely something you would want to avoid as a priority.

I just can't get my head around what they have done.

On CoO itself. Story seemed good enough - I'll play through it again (twice to be honest) and see if I can understand it a bit better and take it in a bit better. Not got enough new weapons to comment on them - only got the Auto off Ikora, a crap looking Rocket Launcher and a Fusion. Everything else I got was vanilla D2stuff. No new exotic. 1 day down.... no Jade Rabbit for me.

I saw a video this morning which suggested they have nerfed the Jade Rabbit pretty hard. No longer three taps. Not sure if it's true but it did cross my mind that Bungie may have set up a unit just to troll you.

to be honest I would have been surprised if it three tapped - that would have made it very powerful in comparison to other scouts and generally other weapons in the game.

What have they done? I didn't go in to PvP last night.

there are now 4 PvP playlists.

Quickplay, CoO Quickplay, Competitive, CoO Competitive. It also feels like the CoO options are secondary to the 'main options', just going by the visual design.

I do think D1 did similar, with the 'have nots' relegated to a 'legacy' playlist - but it still feels like absolutely the wrong thing to do.

they nerfed Telesto as well, doesn't generate orbs for teammates, doesn't have battle runner perk.

I'm not sure what Bungie's thought process is in bringing back worse versions of great D1 guns.

That's... Weird. Especially with the master works orb creation. I could even understand of it only proc'd vs pve enemies.

On a general level, though, if some guns came back as they were it would near break the game.

Yeah - I was getting wrecked by that last night. I thought it was just team shotting but seemingly that gun is very OP. Why isn't it just a solar version of Coldheart? Why is it so much more powerful?

With the way bungie work too it will be 3 months before anything (IF anything) is done about it.
